# MaterialService MaterialService : `Instance` ## Overview MaterialService is a global service that manages the various material representation methods used in the game. If you specify the name of a MaterialVariant to apply for each material, when selecting that material in a BasePart, the connected MaterialVariant is automatically used instead of the default material. Also, the MaterialVariant must have a BaseMaterial value that matches the target material it is intended to replace for it to apply correctly. ## Properties ### Aspalt `string` Specifies
